• W836458153 abstract "John C. Fremont introduces his 1842, 1843-44 Report and Map with a to Reader which raises immediately a number of issues critical to understanding how American expansionism presents exploration in American West as a romantic yet wholly scientific project. Here, Fremont calls attention to volume's form, emphasizing methodological similarities between assembly and construction of its maps and written narrative. These two conveyors of information work together to provide a complex vision of American West, one composed of a combination of written and visual rhetoric. The impetus for 1842, 1843-44 Report and Map, likewise, is a dual one: The report, or narrative, of this extended expedition, like maps which illustrate it, will be to was and to is necessary to show face and character of country, and to add to science while fulfilling instructions of Government, which chiefly contemplated a military topographical survey. A greater degree of might have been imparted to it by admitting a greater of detail, but it was deemed best to adhere to rigorous character of a report, and to present nothing, either in narrative or in maps, which was not result of positive observation. (5-6, author's emphasis) The Notice shows that expedition's primary goal is to undertake a military topographical survey, which would be utilized as American expansionist ideologies encouraged military acquisition of geographic territories in Americas. Though Fremont seems here to dismiss popular interest that his report might (and did) garner, it must not be forgotten that he acted in of Topographical Corps, which directly involved national government in settling of West. The popular interest of report--since it is this that encourages American settlers to move into non-United States territories--was an undeniably critical component of a U.S. government project of territorial expansion. (1) Fremont's secondary goal, which he states almost simultaneously with his military orders, is to contribute something to science. This something seems to involve that which show[s] face and character of country without overstepping strictly confined bounds of what was seen or positively and personally observed (5-6). Fremont's claim to restrict Report to that which was the result of positive observation tells us that this government-sponsored work is essentially a work of empirical science, thus encouraging perception of his Report as reliable and truthful. His expedition was not an exploration of virgin land: Fremont's route covered ground familiar to French, Indian, American, and Spanish trappers and traders, as well as many of those American settlers who had begun great push of westward migration. Though familiar to many, this territory was not yet reliably mapped for purposes of United States government and its citizens. As Francois Brunet has persuasively argued, primary service Fremont rendered as Lieutenant (later Brevet Capitan) of Topographical Corps was to provide an incontestable representation of a region that was surrounded by myths and images, such as pyramidal impression of national topography in which Jefferson believed, or Buenaventura River described in hearsay (29; Allen 376). Fremont's assurance that his Report and Map presents factual and reliable information, gleaned not from myth or hearsay but from what was seen, makes it a useful and practical text to future settlers. As a military employee and son-in-law of unflagging promoter of mid-nineteenth-century expansionist fervor, Thomas Hart Benton, Fremont needed to create a reliable and accessible Report. Even while Fremont indicates that he confines himself to a minimal latitude of detail in his description, success of his text explicitly involves rhetorical conventions of literary style. …" @default.
